Wonderful If Wishes Like This Could Begin Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It would be wonderful to be able to predict,
One man elected can fix the lives of those troubled.
And he'd be held accountable...
As he applied a magic wand to it!

But the chaos upon us has been inflicted by greed.
With the need to have our fantansies breathe.
As all who were teased approved it to be.

It would be wonderful to sit,
And witness all of our issues drift away.
To have someone else obey our whims.

It would be wonderful if wishes like this could begin...
When we chose our anguish and emotional pain to end.
But then again...
We would not be facing reality!
And reality upon many is beginning to descend!
